He's ok, but TMM is right, enough with those Brouwer wannabe's

He'll be better than Brouwer

Personally I would like to see more older Fighters

Ricardo will be considering all offers for about a week.

Name:Nikola Langov
Age:23
Nationality:Bulgaria
Rider type:Climber/Stage racer
Short Bio:What can be said about cycling and Nikola. It was a love at first sight just as he was 5 he knew he would be a cyclist one day. He hasn't missed a Grand Tour on the TV since he would remember. Despite not being a pocket climber with his 1.85m height he is light enough(67 kilos!) and just loves when the road rises...BUT he is a real daredevil and is one of the most fearless descenders among human kind.

Bulgarian Nibali! Looks like a very nice balanced rider.

Name: Richard Plant
Age: 18
Nationality: Great Britain
Rider type: Climber
Short Bio:

Third son to the Multi Millionaire Yorkshire born Plant family, Richard seen perhaps as the runt of the litter turned his mind to sport from a young age. Too small for most team sports, Richards hunched posture soon found its way to the misfits world of cycling. After dabbling in the more tradition British track career route the ever unorthodox and forward thinking Richard looked towards professional road racing, in particular to become the best home grown climber Britain had ever seen.

Somewhat outspoken against the number of UK cycling imports, young Plants views have split the nations views in half and has encouraged his supporters to wear a Red Rose in symbolic support of the pure British heritage dismissing the 'other' British riders as possessing something akin to witchcraft.

It'll take a brave manager to attempt to harness Richards forthright views, however do not let that fool you Plant has an incredibly determined mind one needed within the modern peloton

Name: Ryu Kawasaki
Age: 23
Nationality: Japan
Rider type: Big Sprinter
Short Bio:

Young Japanese Kieran track star, having won most of what there is to win there he is looking to move onto a road career. Has trained a little on the slopes of Mount Fuji but even so Ryu will not be the greatest climber at any point of his career. However many smart marks are convinced that Kawasaki could well become a massive star for the sport of cycling really bringing the Japanese market into the fold.

Name: Matt Leigh
Age: 21
Nationality: Australia
Rider type: Perfect lead out guy, goes great in prologues
Short Bio:

Obsessed with winning medals on the track as a youngster, often worked well in madison races with the infamous Richard D'Astley. Though is now looking to move away from the wackyness of such races to the road and should be the perfect team mate in this terrain.

After a somewhat accident prone recent past Matt is terrified of heights and so is a poor climber.

I'll take a look tomorrow, sorry I forgot to check yours today Darkie

Feeling a bit sorry for that Matt Leigh though, can he handle a speed bump?

Kawasaki: You can't have stats over 79 I guess..?

You can have 80 matt...

Langov is 40 points too much.
Plant is 10 points too much. (great bio, please NetApp signing next next year - if I wasn't full already )
Kawaski and Leigh are alright.

Sorry for Plant - got a little confused with the double points. Here is a resubmission.

Interesting how 74MO and 66HI will turn out in game. Switching the Hill and Mountain would give you a good young puncher but thats just me

Yes, that guy will turn out really weird. He's also the closest thing EPIC will ever get to a Nazi, so I call for a signing boycott on him.

I like Plant's stats... can't thing why though *cough*Hinault*cough*. Probably dislikes Hanzen and his international heritage though
Nice riders, no Brouwer clones is always a good move!

I am interested in creating a rider atm, but if i enjoy doing this can I create one more rider? And is it a specific time for the creation of "regens" or can I do it at any point of the game?

Up to 3 riders, with max ages described in the first post.

You can join at any time, however now would be a great time if you want to start the next season

You can make 3 at different ages, you have a chance to create riders at seasons breaks (2 of them) and at the end of the year like now.

Thanks, will do my cyclist sign-up tomorrow because don´t have time to do it atm
